MSCs were transfected for 48h, starved overnight (o.n.), and grown in starvation medium for 72h if not indicated differently. Breast cancer or epithelial cells were grown for 72h in complete growth medium. Subsequently, CM was retrieved, cell debris was removed by centrifugation and stored immediately at -80°C and thawed only once for experimental usage. For ultracentrifugation (UC), the CM was first centrifuged for 30min at 2,000g to remove dead cells and cell debris. The residual supernatant was centrifuged at 100,000g for 180min using a SW 41 Ti Rotor in a Beckman L8-70M Ultracentrifuge (Beckman Coulter, California, USA). Separation of proteins larger than 4kDa in CM of cancer cells was performed with AMICON® Ultra-4 filtration units (Merck Millipore, Darmstadt, Germany) at 4000g for 30 minutes.
MSC CM was analyzed for secreted proteins using Human Cytokine Array Kit, Panel A (R&D Systems, Wiesbaden-Nordenstadt, Germany) according to manufacturer's instructions except that IRDye®800CM Streptavidin (LI-COR, Lincoln, NE, USA) was used in a 1:4000 dilution in PBS for visualization. Membranes were scanned with Odyssey Reader and analyzed with Odyssey 2.1 (LI-COR, Lincoln, NE, USA). Fluorescence linked-immunosorbent assay (FLISA) was used for protein quantification in CM (Protocol in Supplemental Materials).

Following treatments, cells were washed in ice-cold PBS-CM (PBS with 1 mM MgCl2 and 0.1 mM CaCl2) and whole cell extracts were prepared in Tris Lysis Buffer (50 mm Tris-Cl, pH 7.4, 150 mm NaCl, 1% NP-40, 0.5% sodium deoxycholate, 5 mm EDTA, 5 mm EGTA, 1X Complete™ protease inhibitor cocktail, 1 mM phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride). Proteins in cell extracts or immunoprecipitates were prepared in 1X Laemmli sample buffer (Bio-Rad) supplemented with 50 mM dithiothreitol, heated for 5 min at 96°C and loaded for electrophoresis onto 8% SDS-polyacrylamide gels or 4%–12% Tris/HEPES-SDS Bolt™ precast gels (Thermo-Invitrogen). Size-separated proteins were transferred to nitrocellulose membranes (Bio-Rad). Primary antibodies (described above) and IRdye800-conjugated secondary antibodies were used to detect target proteins using the LI-COR Odyssey infrared imaging system (LI-COR Biosciences). Quantification of the intensity of the bands was obtained using Odyssey 2.0 software (LI-COR Biosciences).

Chemotaxis and Immunoblot Assay Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For chemotaxis assays, the number of migrated cells was compared between conditions using two-tailed, unpaired t-test following ANOVA analysis. The same statistical analysis was used to compare relative immunoblot band pixel intensity between different cell culture conditions. Densitometry of immunoblot bands was carried out using Odyssey 2.0 software (Licor). Quantitation of pAktS-473 immunoblots developed using chemiluminescence peroxide substrate was performed using Image J. Densitometric values of pS473-Akt were normalized to that of total Akt in each lane. P values ≤0.05 were considered significant for two-tailed, unpaired t-test, after ANOVA analysis.

Samples were loaded onto 8% SDS-polyacrylamide gels or 4–12% Tris/HEPES-SDS BoltTM precast gels (Thermo-Invitrogen) for electrophoresis. The size-separated proteins were then transferred to nitrocellulose membranes (Bio-Rad). Primary antibodies (described above) and IRdye800-conjugated secondary antibodies were used to detect target proteins.

Western Blot Analysis of NeuN Proteins

Rbfox3/NeuN proteins from all in vitro and animal treatment groups were examined by immunoblotting. All samples for protein extractions were freshly harvested and homogenized (T-PER Reagent, Thermo Scientific, Pittsburgh, PA), including a protease inhibitor cocktail (Roche Applied Science). Homogenized tissue lysates were centrifuged and then stored at −80°C until use. The protein concentration of each sample was measured using the BCA protein assay (Pierce, Rockford, IL). 20 µg of lysates were loaded per well onto 4–20% Tris–HCl Ready Gels (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Hercules, CA) and Precision Plus Protein Dual Color Standards (Bio-Rad; MW range: 10–250 kDa) were used to determine protein transfer and molecular weight. Proteins were transferred to PVDF membranes (Bio-Rad). Antibodies to Rbfox3/NeuN (1:2,000, Abcam, ab104225) were used to probe the blots. Antibodies to glyceraldehyde 3- phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH, 1:2,500, Abcam, ab8245) and β-actin (1:2,000, Abcam, ab8227) were used to normalize protein loading. Host-matched IRDye® Infrared Dyes-conjugated secondary antibodies (LI-COR Biotechnology, Lincoln, Nebraska) were applied to visualize each protein band. Protein bands were detected on an Odyssey® Infrared Imaging System and intensity was analyzed by Odyssey 2.0 software (LI-COR).

Nuclear Translocation of NF-κB by Mn and MitoQ

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To examine nuclear translocation of p65 NF-κB by Mn and Mn + MitoQ, cells were exposed to Mn doses (0, 10 and 100 μM for 5 h) with or without prior treatment with 1 μM MitoQ or vehicle control for 30 min. Post-exposure, cells were isolated for subcellular fractionation using a nuclear and cytoplasmic extraction kit (Thermo Scientific, Rockford, IL, USA). Isolated fractions were confirmed by Western blotting using antibodies against p65 NF-κB. Controls were determined by probing nuclei for lamin A/C. All antibodies were obtained from Cell Signaling Technology, Boston, MA, USA. An IRDye 800 conjugated affinity purified anti-rabbit (Rockland Immunochemicals, Gilbersville, PA, USA) or Alexa-Fluor-680-conjugated anti-mouse (Invitrogen, Waltham, MA, USA) was used as secondary antibody. Bands were visualized using an Odyssey scanner (Li-Cor Biosciences, Lincoln, NE, USA) and Odyssey 2.1 software (Li-Cor, Lincoln, NE, USA) and quantified using ImageJ v1.48.
All statistical analyses, boxplots and heatmaps were generated in R v3.2.3. Schematic figures were created using online software at BioRender.com. Abbreviations used throughout the text are provided in Supplementary Text S1.

Yeast cells were grown to mid-log phase in YPD liquid medium. Flu was added to the medium, and 1 ml aliquots were withdrawn at the indicated time points. Cells were resuspended in sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl [pH 6.8], 10% Glycerol, 2% SDS, 5 mM NaF, 1 mM Na3VO4 and 5% β-mercaptoethanol), boiled for 10 min and centrifuged at 13 000 x g for 10 min to obtain protein extracts.

Phosphorylated Hog1 was detected using anti-phospho-p38 MAPK antibody (Cell Signaling Technology) with 1:2000 dilution and IRDye 800CW donkey antibody against rabbit IgG (LI-COR Biosciences) with 1:5000 dilution. Total Hog1 protein was detected using anti-Hog1 yC-20 antibody (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA) with 1:2000 dilution and IRDye 680RD donkey antibody against goat IgG (LI-COR Biosciences) with 1:5000 dilution. Signals were detected using the Odyssey Infrared Imaging System and quantified using the Odyssey 2.1 software (LI-COR Biosciences). All phosphorylated Hog1 values were normalized against the 5-min sample taken from the control strain.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
